Hello
I understand your concern
These medications don't cause any kind of cancer, yes these can cause ED which is temporary and will go away after sometime of stopping medication. Alternate medicines can be used which will treat your psychiatric illness and won't cause any sexual dysfunction.

Hi sir,
I understand ur problem.
You are on a antidepressant.
Its true that Depsonil (Imipramine) might have temporary ED and would resolve by itself.
Next Steps
Please do not stop this medication suddenly.
Or else u should review with psychiatrist and restart on some other antidepressant/ anxiolytic which would suit you.

Hi there,
A detailed medical and psychiatric history is always needed for every patient.In addition, a detailed mental status examination is also recommended for every case to come for a diagnosis and management of the symptoms accordingly .
Next Steps
In some of the conditions like Hypochondriasis, as you have mentioned, people may have persistent fear of having some of the illnesses.
Medications and psychological interventions do help.
As such there is no evidence of any such problem like Brain tumour with such drugs. So don’t worry. You may be having such fear because of the psychological problems you are facing.
Do discuss your problem of ED and drugs with your mental health professional.
